How old do you have to be to rent a car in Columbus?
You'll need to be at least 21 to slide behind the wheel of a rental car in Columbus. Bear in mind that young drivers may only be able to rent from a few car classes, such as compact and medium size. Higher age limits generally apply for specialty and premium vehicles. Additionally, most outlets will charge an additional fee for young renters. Read through the rules before clicking the book button and factor any surcharge into your travel budget.
What do you need to rent a car in Columbus?
You'll need to present a valid driver's license and a credit card when you get to the home counter. Before pickup, check with your home supplier whether other documentation is needed. For example, you may also need to show proof of auto insurance.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Columbus?
You can rent a vehicle for a month or longer in Columbus, so don't hestitate to extend your getaway! Just enter your trip information into our long-term car rental deals page and find your ideal ride.
Where can I find a Columbus car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between holiday home companies, so you'll have to do a bit of research. Managed to find a Columbus supplier that does rent to drivers under the age of 25? Terrific! Just take note that extra charges often apply to drivers aged between 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each holiday home car you're interested in should have all the details you need.
Can I drive in Columbus with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license from the United States, then you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is required, know that you'll also have to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card you used to rent the vehicle must match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your home. Some additional requirements for renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many states to rent a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as the car rental website before you travel to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you usually can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or traverse off-road areas with your home. Please read the details before booking!
